Plot

Five young people travel on the Rainbow Line. But they have several problems: they'll often arrive at a station only to find it's been taken over by the evil Shadow Line, they can't remember anything beyond their childhoods, and there are lost trains (Resshas) that need to be found.

This season began the tradition of having a full hour TV crossover with it's first Super Hero Time partner prior to the airing of the Super Hero Taisen movie during Spring Break.

Until 2019 ToQger was the second post-Jetman Sentai series to not have a direct Power Rangers adaptation, after Go-Busters.

However on February 17, 2018 Saban announced that Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters would be the source for Power Rangers 2019 season: Power Rangers Beast Morphers. This situation makes ToQger the first (and only) post-Jetman Sentai series without a Power Rangers adaptation.

This Super Sentai series shares some similarities with its Super Hero Time partners,

For Kamen Rider Gaim:

The main villains (the Shadow Line and the Helheim) in both series are from other dimensions (the underworld and the Femushinmu Planet), with the goal of terraforming Earth's enviroment into that of those dimensions.

For Kamen Rider Drive:

Heroes in both series are themed after vehicles (cars and trains).

The main heroes in both series transform by inserting a collectible item into a bracelet on their left wrist.

Main villains in both series are less demonized and more humanized than other series' villain groups.

In fact, in the crossover events with their respective precedent series (Ressha Sentai ToQger vs. Kyoryuger: The Movie and Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle), main villains from the series appeared to help the heroes fight against the movie villains.

Just like Kyoryuger 's similarities to Gekiranger, ToQger also shares many similarities with Go-Onger. This trend would continue in the next series.

The heroes are vehicle-themed.

Coincidentally, ToQger's second partner, Kamen Rider Drive, is also car-themed, just like Go-Onger.

Theme wise Toqger has a small similarity to the 20th Super Sentai Gekisou Sentai Carranger as both teams have costumes and Mecha that are based on modern day vehicles and are powered by a certain kind of mystic energy.

The Carranger's are car themed and their Mecha are powered by an energy called Carmagic..

The Toqger's are train themed and their Mecha are powered by Imagination.
